Targeting the curvature of cell membranes for parasitic infection treatment
Cell membranes are crowded and dynamic places. They constitute the first contact for all external stimuli that arrive at a cell, and are in charge of transmitting this information to the cell interior. This works through a cascade of metabolic steps, performed by several phospholipases, amongst other enzymes. Phospholipases degrade membrane components and form signal messengers, which transmit chemical […]
